The Fence

The Fence by Andrew Gray is a political thriller set in Johannesburg at the turn of the millennium. Jan Klein is hired by Brano, the world’s biggest diamond company, to investigate the transgressions of their best trader — José Perreira (aka The Fence). Ten years as a legal advisor to the government have hardly prepared Klein for this mission, but his old mentor, the enigmatic general, now head of internal security at Brano, is sure he’s the right man for the job. So Klein sets out for Rundu in Angola with only his Marmite sandwiches for comfort. But this is not the simple mission it, at first, appears to be and Klein is drawn into a world of high politics where outcomes are all that matter. The Fence is an intricate political thriller that offers a chilling portrayal of corporate corruption. Go to www.loot.co.za for further information.
